WORKED RISE TO ROB Strangers Entered Fierce Home on l'retense of Doing Flcetrieal Work and Stole Money. Two nice looking young drove up to the home of Rachel Pierce at Cornhill men Mrs. and Harris streets yesterday about noon in a large, green- car. To MVS. Pierce, who met them at the door, they said they had been sent there to check her electrical wiring. They were invited in and allowed to go through the house for that seeming legitimate purpose. After they left, some minutes later, Mrs. Pierce discovered that the electrical part of their visit was a ruse and the only thing done to the wiring was to put part of it out of commission. The strangers had made a search for money, and had located in a trunk between $15 and $20 which they took with them when they drove away. Chief Wilkins was notified and at once made a search of the town for the green motor car and the two "electricians" but they had departed."'

' Following the usual summer vacation, the Cameron Chamber of Commerce reconvened for fall with a luncheon Monday evening at the Hi-Way cafe Blue room. President H. F. Williams presided.

More Science Equipment Installed. Ag. Boys Win. The high school enrollment continues to increase, making it necessary to add new seats in the Senior high school study hall. The enrollment is now far over the number in the schools last year. A-hnge of attitude in the students i toward their . courses . is noticeable this year. They are looking for a course that will do them the most good. Many of the students have taken subjects in the past which they feel have not done them the required amount of good. They are returning forpost-graduate work, and are mastering their courses rather than working for an amount of units. The new school law, which went into effect September 14, has given the school members and the board of education a problem ofre-adjustment in the high school. The Cameron board of education is well aware of this fact and have taken steps to keep the local schools In a line with the best educational principals.The new law provides that the state pay $50 to the city high school for each non-resident student. What this lacks in tuition the rural districts are to make up, but most of the rural districts are al- j ready taxed to the limit, so $50 is about all any school may expect to i receive for tuition. This means the ! city schools which cannot adapt ; themselves on this basis .will soon i become bankrupt in a short time j trying to care for the students at $50, when it costs a great deal j more. Only 70 per cent should be j spent for teaching and the other 30 : per cent for library, laboratory j ies and upkeep, meaning that the per pupil cost must be reduced to $S."5 per subject, Supt. Hosman states. Another difficulty liable to come from the new school law is that many boards of education in order to care for the high school will spend all of the money on the high schools and neglect the grade schools. This is being done in many cases. The grade schools sliould not be neglected in order to have a good high school it is necessary that the grade schools sliould have the necessary supplies and equipments.It is hoped that in a few years the present school system will be able to cut the per pupil cost for the parents to a maximum of not more than $5. Three new science lecture tables I were purchased last week by Supt. j Hosman from Missouri Wesleyan i College. He also purchased a bio-' logy specimen case and an individ-' ual locker case. It is planned to j improve the biology and general science rooms by installing a lec- j tuie table having running water land a small aquarium. I A new course has been added to j general mathematics for those j needing arithmetic, Twenty students j have enrolled. I Coach Goldie Bourrette has bought some new football equipment. While the uniforms are ihe same a number of changes have been made ia tUe system. The BAXD BOYS TO WIXSTOX Manager Will McGlumphy has arranged a good will visit of the Rotary boys Band to Winston Friday night of this week. All Cameron people are invited to go with the band and mingle with our neighbors at Winston. Cars carrying the band and other visitors will leave the park at 7 o'clock. ACTCALLY CLOSIXG OUT Grand Leader is to Quit Business, Says Price Cutter Kramer, Who is Directing Sale. With the conclusion of the sale now in progress at the Grand Leader, that store will retire from business in Cameron, Price Cutter Kramer, who is directing the sale, states. In referring to his ad in The Sun today, Mr. Kramer said, "I would like to make it plain that the store is actually quitting business."Although the continued Warm weather is not an encouragement to buy fall and winter goods, Mr. Kramer reports excellent response to the sale offerings. More news about the sale appears on the last page of section two today. line from tackle to tackle will wear old gold and black jerseys and black and gold headgear. The end and backfield will wear black jerseys and old gold and black headgear. The" advantages in placing the men in this way will make the passing more effective. The end and backfield men will year light shoes in the actual playing. By adding the new assistant coach to the school system it is possible to give every boy some actual experience in practice and scrimmage. Each boy will receive from 30 to 60 minutes of instruction each day from one of the coaches. This is one features not practiced in past years, hut the administration believes it will help build up oncoming material each year.

WORKED RISE TO ROB Strangers Entered Fierce Home on l'retense of Doing Flcetrieal Work and Stole Money. Two nice looking young drove up to the home of Rachel Pierce at Cornhill men Mrs. and Harris streets yesterday about noon in a large, green- car. To MVS. Pierce, who met them at the door, they said they had been sent there to check her electrical wiring. They were invited in and allowed to go through the house for that seeming legitimate purpose. After they left, some minutes later, Mrs. Pierce discovered that the electrical part of their visit was a ruse and the only thing done to the wiring was to put part of it out of commission. The strangers had made a search for money, and had located in a trunk between $15 and $20 which they took with them when they drove away. Chief Wilkins was notified and at once made a search of the town for the green motor car and the two "electricians" but they had departed."' """ -""""- ------- A warning is given by Chief Wilkins to watch all strangers and make sure people have legitimate business before admitting ihem to the home.

More Science Equipment Installed. Ag. Boys Win. The high school enrollment continues to increase, making it necessary to add new seats in the Senior high school study hall. The enrollment is now far over the number in the schools last year. A-hnge of attitude in the students i toward their . courses . is noticeable this year. They are looking for a course that will do them the most good. Many of the students have taken subjects in the past which they feel have not done them the required amount of good. They are returning forpost-graduate work, and are mastering their courses rather than working for an amount of units. The new school law, which went into effect September 14, has given the school members and the board of education a problem ofre-adjustment in the high school. The Cameron board of education is well aware of this fact and have taken steps to keep the local schools In a line with the best educational principals.The new law provides that the state pay $50 to the city high school for each non-resident student. What this lacks in tuition the rural districts are to make up, but most of the rural districts are al- j ready taxed to the limit, so $50 is about all any school may expect to i receive for tuition. This means the ! city schools which cannot adapt ; themselves on this basis .will soon i become bankrupt in a short time j trying to care for the students at $50, when it costs a great deal j more. Only 70 per cent should be j spent for teaching and the other 30 : per cent for library, laboratory j ies and upkeep, meaning that the per pupil cost must be reduced to $S."5 per subject, Supt. Hosman states. Another difficulty liable to come from the new school law is that many boards of education in order to care for the high school will spend all of the money on the high schools and neglect the grade schools. This is being done in many cases. The grade schools sliould not be neglected in order to have a good high school it is necessary that the grade schools sliould have the necessary supplies and equipments.It is hoped that in a few years the present school system will be able to cut the per pupil cost for the parents to a maximum of not more than $5. Three new science lecture tables I were purchased last week by Supt. j Hosman from Missouri Wesleyan i College. He also purchased a bio-' logy specimen case and an individ-' ual locker case. It is planned to j improve the biology and general science rooms by installing a lec- j tuie table having running water land a small aquarium. I A new course has been added to j general mathematics for those j needing arithmetic, Twenty students j have enrolled. I Coach Goldie Bourrette has bought some new football equipment. While the uniforms are ihe same a number of changes have been made ia tUe system.

ACTCALLY CLOSIXG OUT Grand Leader is to Quit Business, Says Price Cutter Kramer, Who is Directing Sale.
